Holly Near and Emma's Revolution concert last night

This was a great performance, and a very uplifting experience. The Unitarian Church in Marietta was a great host to this event. Since we had supported the effort with sponsorship level tickets, we were treated royally by the church hosts. We sat in on the sound check, had a little buffet meal, where the performers came and mingled, and we got front row seats. Their harmonies are exquisite, their song lyrics are inspiring and deep in causes and awareness of humanity. As Holly said, she has mostly performed with a piano accompanist, and so playing with guitars finally makes her a folk singer. Their range of causes and human rights issues they support and promote is unbelievable in its depth and commitment, and their messages and emotions they evoke with their songs makes for a very spiritual and memorial concert. Check out their websites: hollynear.com and emmasrevolution.com for info beyond what I can convey here.
